David Jacobs home is very 1980s. I wonder if any hip hop artists or NBA players would purchase this home. Jay Z and Beyoncé were rumored to have been interested in Aaron Spelling's former home. LeBron James purchased one of Bill Bell's former homes.

True. Bradley can't write a half hour show, imagine the mess he would have made of a 1 hour show.

@BetterForgotten The aftermath of OJ was when GL entered cancel territory. I've pointed it out before but GL got saved from cancel territory in the 1980s because Capitol showed no growth during its run and B&B wasn't a hit right away. Once B&B started showing growth in 1989, one would think GL would be in cancel territory at that point but I don't remember any cancel rumors until the early months of 1995.

Dina's 2017 return breathed new life into the Abbott family and Marla Adams was the real MVP. Dina should have been Y&R's new grande dame.

I stopped watching 1994 when Nancy Curlee left as HW. I know post-Curlee two big 1994 events were Alan return and Annie Dutton arrival, but the consensus here is that 1994 on the whole was not very good. That year and a bit from the aftermath of Maureen death until Nancy Curlee left as HW was a chore to get through. At least there was MZ Emmy-winning storyline in that time.

1994-1996 Bradley expanded the canvas in anticipation of 1 hour expansion but when that fell through, there was a cast purge around Spring 1997.

@JAS0N47 You are amazing, thank you for the offer 🤗 I will message you soon, don't worry it won't be a long list

Based on the clues, I think we can rule out the CBS soaps.

There's a gap in the 1990s changes I haven't filled yet. EP changes July 1991: Robert Calhoun to JFP May 1995: JFP to Michael Laibson 1996: Michael Laibson to Paul Rauch HW changes January 1991: Pamela Long to Nancy Curlee March 1994: Nancy Curlee to ? 1995: ? to Megan McTavish The rest of the 1990s were posted above. I think it was posted here that March 1994-May 1995 there was a writing committee and no designated HW.

As we know Dina and Beth were nothing alike, so maybe its Marla Adams acting style. In between Marla Adams original run as Dina and her run as Beth, she was on Generations. I don't believe any of her Generations episodes have surfaced online. Here are a couple of Marla Adams non-Y&R appearances during her original run as Dina. Marla and Frank Benard rep Y&R in this CBS soap special week. Marla introduces Tracey Bregman performance

Of all soaps during the 1980s, I think GL had the most turnover among EPs and HWs. I might be wrong on some of the dates. EP changes February 1983: Allen Potter to Gail Kobe January 1986: Gail Kobe to Joe Willmore June 1989: Joe Willmore to Robert Calhoun HW changes October 1982: Douglas Marland to Pat Falken Smith November 1982: Pat Falken Smith to L. Virginia Browne February 1983: L. Virginia Browne to Richard Culliton and Pamela Long September 1983: Pamela Long becomes sole HW January 1986: Pamela Long to Jeff Ryder February 1986: Mary Ryan Munisteri becomes co-HW September 1986: Co-HW change from Jeff Ryder to Ellen Barrett October 1986: Mary Ryan Munisteri and Ellen Barrett to Joseph Manetta November 1986: Sheri Anderson becomes co-HW July 1987: Joseph Manetta and Sheri Anderson to Pamela Long Yes, the Potter/Marland era held its own vs. General Hospital but I can't help but feel that the ratings success was helped by Y&R being in their post-expansion slump. Remember prior to the 1 hour expansion, Y&R was CBS highest-rated soap and was challenging General Hospital and All My Children for #1, but then all their momentum was lost post-expansion. Y&R rebound during the second half of 1982 overlaps w/ GL dropping post-Marland and by 1983 Y&R was back to being CBS highest-rated soap. Pamela Long set in motion characters and storylines that would carry GL through its final 25 years: Lewis family expanded and elevated to a main family, Phillip/Beth, Reva, Alexandra.

Michelle Forbes got nominated for Supporting Actress in 1990. It's been nearly 35 years since her GL run ended, and she's been working steadily for the better part of those years.

Oh yes. That group of actors as the Abbott family were the best. I'd like to think that Marla, Jerry, and Terry are together upstairs right now, sharing memories of their Abbott family years, with Marguerite Ray and Jeanne Cooper joining them.

Totally agree. Marla Adams original run as Dina (1983-1986) she was serving up primetime soap diva fierceness. If Marla wasn't cast as Dina, I could totally see her on a primetime soap when they were at their peak.

Possibly. I have no memory of that at all.

John Silva and Sheila had some scenes together in 1990 where it was hinted that they shared a past but Bill Bell didn't expand on it.

Oh man this hurts 😢 RIP Marla Adams and thank you for contributions to daytime television.

1996 it looked like John Silva was going to be paired with Jill but Bill Bell dropped it.

1980s hangover, plus a good number of the big 1980s hit shows were winding down. 1993/94 I think was the season that the 1990s really began on primetime: peak Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place took off, peak Home Improvement, Seinfeld blew up, NYPD Blue premiered. Then of course the following season ER and Friends premiered and we know the rest. By Fall 1993, the only dramas premiering in the 1980s that were still on were Murder, She Wrote; L.A. Law, Matlock, In the Heat of the Night. L.A. Law and In the Heat of the Night ended Spring 1994, Matlock ended Spring 1995, and Murder, She Wrote ended Spring 1996. Murder, She Wrote was bookended by two very different eras in primetime dramas. It started in the Dallas/Dynasty era and ended in the ER/NYPD Blue era. Murder, She Wrote may not have been as cool and trendy as Miami Vice, Moonlighting, and L.A. Law but Murder, She Wrote out-rated and outlasted them.

Did you like pop star Mariah (Vision of Love to Hero) more than R&B/rent-a-rapper Mariah (Fantasy onward)?

Yeah, the charts have felt off for a while. Some big moves we might see soon. Male solo artists: Drake is one #1 away from moving past Michael Jackson. Female solo artists: Taylor Swift is one #1 away from tying Madonna. Beyoncé is one #1 away from tying Janet Jackson. Ariana Grande is one #1 away from tying Janet Jackson.

The Danny/Jack promo looks like its from Summer 1981.

Traci is the heart and conscience of the Abbott family.
